  • Nonsense. Cultural history transferrence is a thing, I did not have to have watched Gilligan’s Island or the Honeymooners to get the references in every 80s tv show, it became clear from the context and its own meta joke.

    So no, just like a GenX-er did not need to have been a Baby Boomer to undestand the “One of these days Alice, Bang! Zoom! Straight to the moon!” reference, a Gen Z-er can quite easily get references about Gen X series from the frequency and context they encounter them.







  • If you feel happy with the current state of reddit you should be there. I could not stomach it anymore so I’m at the next best alternative, that has all the potential. You need to take the sour with the sweet in all new ventures. But if that’s not for you just go just go where you feel fine, nobody is making you stay or is invested in having people stick around that do not feel they want to be here.


  • JdW@lemmy.worldtoAndroid@lemmy.worldShould I buy a Pixel or a Samsung?

    The Pixel is the far superior product as far as I am concerned: Faster, more stable, no bloatware and the best camera around.

    But, and this might be a big but for some, if you need repairs or service outside of insurance you are SOL. There’s not a lot of companies doing Pixel repairs and if they do the parts are insanely expensive. I needed a screen replace and it cost almost as much as the phone itself in parts and labour. And the end result is a screen that gets dirtier and a non-functioning fingerprint sensor. Not optimal.

    Awesome phone, but pray you do not need service.
